As I sit here and type, I am listening to my 6th grade students present their book reports. So far we've had Pollyanna, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Still to come, I believe are Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, the Indian in the Cupboard and a couple of others. Good stuff. They are doing a fine job. They're pretty facinated on how Injun Joe killed the doctor right now.
So what favorite books do we have out there? I've read a few that I've about done backflips over. For the last year or so, I've been on a big Tedd Dekker kick. I LOVE his stuff - he's brilliant. I've read the Circle trilogy (Black, Red and White), Obsessed, Blink and my very VERY favorite is Thr3e. I have his new one, Showdown, is in my bag (thanks, Mom). I hope to start it this weekend. I also like stuff by Beverly Lewis, Terri Blackstock, Francine Rivers, Lori Wick, Dee Henderson, Ray Blackston... the list goes on. I generally stick to Christian fiction. I'm glad there are some really talented authors in this genre. Don't get me wrong - I've read some stuff that's pretty cheesy, too. But, in general, that's my preference.
How about y'all?

Read Shogun. GREAT book. Not exactly Christian fiction, but great fiction nonetheless. Also Les Miserables, Uncle Tom's Cabin, and, for lighter fare, most books by John Grishman. For historical fiction, read the Killer Angels trilogy (about the Civil War). Lots more where that came from if you're interested.
